Pass mark is a score that forms a limit between enough competent candidates and those who are not competent. There are two types of pass marks: relative and absolute. Fixed pass mark can be determined by either asking judges or arbitrary figure. The internationalization, globalization, and cross-border education driven by the development of information and communication technology need global standards for medical education. Thus, there is need for evidence-based standards. In the presence of remarkable evidence against the use of fixed pass mark, continuing its use becomes unjustifiable. |
